v0.28.0 - Blueprints
Hi there! This version grew a bit out of the initial scope (thus it took me more time than anticipated, sorry for that). As this version is save-breaking, I'm leaving the previous version 0.27.0 as a beta branch - for those who wish to finish the previous run before trying new content.
Blueprints Single device type can produce various products. New product types are unlockable via technology. All items can be now researched & produced on your own station.
Production Control Production devices can be set up in one of 3 ways:
Continous - works non-stop
Do X - works until said amount is produced
Do until X in stock - works only if stock of product is lower than given X
Tech Tree Tech tree UI was changed to handle an increased amount of tech.
Changelog:
Items production changed to be based on blueprints
Do until X in stock production mode added
New tech tree witch a lot of new techs
Added mining of PE Plasma & Strange Matter
Added production of Antimater & Superdense Matter
Added pump station for Antimater & Superdense Matter
Chemical Plant produces Acid, Rubber, BioPlastic & Graphene
Furnance produces Metal, Silicon, MetallicGlass
Introduce ArcFurnance - faster than Furnance, but needs more power

Notices UI changed from icon to text

v0.27.0 - New content & game rebalance
Corruption reduction as BlackCorp payment reward By repaying your loan you can reduce % of tech points corrupted during the trade.
Visitor Tier By repaying your loan you can also unlock higher Tiers of visitors. The high-tier visitor brings high-tier items to trade. All items are now available via trade.
Pipe configuration changed - swipe instead of clicking each pipe To make preparing pipe setups easier, I've redone how they are configured. Now instead of manually clicking each pipe, you can swipe the mouse holding the left click to over multiple pipes to form a pipeline in the swipe direction. The same pipeline can be disconnected by doing the same & holding the right click.
